Re: the veggie debate

Dear Kimberly,

I have some very devout vegan friends who nevertheless acknowledge it's a
life-long and frequently changing process.  One such spent some time in
Iceland, for example, and acknowledged she ate dairy there, else she would
have starved to death.  This is a woman who hadn't touched meat or dairy foods
for many years.  I think we grow spiritually by confronting this issue within
ourself, and vowing to do what we can....it IS a process.  But it not the only
process going on, usually.  Awakening compassion is a life-long goal; it takes
place on many fronts, in my experience.
